Weekend

I have been doing a little stitching this week. These little QAYG hexagons got stitched up and will be added to the finished quilt eventually to make it bigger. I have a lot more of these to stitch and hand sew together. I have a set of black prepped but will need to prep more today now that I have freed up the clips. 


I'm going to be moving slowly today, as yesterday was a long day. Emily had a competition, and the call time was 6AM at school. That's a leave the house at 5:30. We got back to school before 7PM, but they had to refold the floors from the programs. We left the school around 7:30. It was a long day, but I learned a lot about winter guard and lots of gossip from the adults on the nearly 2 hour bus ride there =). 

This is the JV team with their coaches. They improved their points, but I hear the routine was 'not crisp'. They need to work on getting in sync. They have a practice over break and then the last performance is the end of the month. I got to see a couple of teams perform and just Wow. The talent of these athletes is amazing. I also liked there was lots of body shapes represented. Their Varsity team took first in their category. It was an awesome routine. The winter guard routine contains dance, flag, riffle and saber tricks.

I went to bed early (9:30ish) and woke up a little after 1AM. I poked my head out to the living room and Aidan was watching the F1 race in Australia. I watched with him from lap 33 on. It was quite a race with rain and crashes. 

We are under a tornado threat today. It is a little windy before the storm rolls through. It will knock our 90 temps down into the 70's for the week, which will be nice. I am just catching up on news from yesterday and I hope all in the path of this storm are ok. It looks like it has been wrecking havoc across the US the last 2 days.
Linking up with Kathy and the Slow Sunday Stitchers. Now I'd better go walk the dog before the crazy weather hits.

I hope you do not have the tornadoes like the ones that passed through eastern Arkansas on Friday evening and then the ones yesterday that continued east - be safe!

Those hexagons are really pretty. I remember the days of school tournaments. My children did soccer and track. There were some very long days. Stay safe today.

Your lime green hexies are fun - especially the one with the monkey! Love the picture of the girls in their outfits - so cute with the blue lipstick, too. I imagine it is a big learning experience for all of them. Have a good Sunday - hope the weather doesn't get too crazy!

Wasn't that quite the F1 Race today??? Just amazing.
Your green hexies are perfect for tomorrow's St Patrick's Day--I've got my corned beef and cabbage waiting for the crock pot....;)))
